--EVERY WORD MATTERS

You shall not add to
the word which
I command you, nor
take from it.
--Deuteronomy 4:2 -

Words matter. But especially when they are the very Words of God. Moses warned Israel, "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God" (Deut.4:2). Moses often reminded Israel of God's mercy and faithfulness to them in the past. But he also stressed the importance of obedience to God's commands as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. He told them that obedience would result in blessings of life and a rich inheritance (vv.39-40). Every command and regulation mattered to God. The value His people placed on God's Word showed their view of Him.

Today, when we value God's Word, handle it with great care, and obey what it says, we give God the reverence He truly deserves.
